... > @JimTyler said: I made it to a restroom without any problems, but walking up that last flight of stairs to get to the show was scary. I couldn't find an elevator.

Re: Card title variations on PSA label & PSA wants me to pay.
It's not a mislabel though. For it to be that, it would have to have been mislabeled incorrectly or falsely when PSA graded it. That wasn't the case when it was graded.
